Public bug reported: I have found the following issues when following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To have permanent write permissions to the switch file, add the following line, replacing USERNAME with your username, to /etc/init.d/rc.local: chown USERNAME /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not add the above command to /etc/init.d/rc.local, i simply just chown the above file as adding the line into the rc.local file does nothing at all and prevents me from using the script by adding a laucher and resulting to me running sudo su in the terminal first. In addition to the above I have also found that within the gxmessage script that there is no need for the gnome-session-quit command and all that is required is the following at the top of the script: if [ $EUID != 0 ]; then gksudo "$0" "$@" exit $? fi regards sean ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 12.04 graphics hybrid ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053856 Title: switchable graphics HP Envy 14 Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1053856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
